Fibromyalgia: Anyone out there with the same diagnosis?

Posted by dknnkn @dknnkn, Apr 29, 2012

Hello! I was just diagnosed this Friday with Fibromyalgia. Is there anyone out there with the same condition. I am a 37 yr old female that was pretty active until I took a drastic decline with severe increases in pain in August. Initial blood tests were pointing towards lupus, but after a thorough exam---fibromyalgia it is. My rheumatologist started me on a 2 week trial of savella. Thanks so much for any insight you may have for me 🙂

Elderly people might not digest their food entirely so extended-release meds might not work for them. I am on diabetes med Metformin but the time release doesn't even begin to dissolve. It comes out whole in the toilet so my doctor put me back on the regular type. Just an idea for oldsters like me.

That's interesting. It hasn't happened to me, but duloxetine is in capsules, which dissolve more easily, leaving behind tiny time-released bead to dissolve.
